Resources To Start Off Your Week 50

Week 50! I am excited to have two great Resources To Start Off Your Week that I have found through my great PLN on Twitter! As always, I will be adding these to my lists of resources under the Fav Websites heading.

1 ) Blogging Prompts for Teacher Candidates
- This collaborative Google Doc project features hundreds of writing
prompts for teacher candidates (and any person in the education
field).
- Topics include issues related to ethical use of technology, pedagogy,
ed tech & cognition, personal tech habits, tech tools, issues with
access, future of education and more!
- I will definitely be using the ideas in this document in the future!

2 ) HipHughes History - If you haven't already subscribed to the HipHughes YouTube Channel you should go do so right now! Keith Hughes, a YouTube Next EDU Guru, has created hundreds of videos (approximately 30 minutes or less) to teach about World History, US History, Politics and more!- Keith seems like an awesome teacher and his videos are very engaging! He uses a lot of different music, backgrounds and eye-catching intro clips to catch your attention quickly. I really like that Keith's explanations really seem like he is talking to a class, not a robotic scripted speech like some edu-videos I've watched.- I like that he has created playlists so that videos are easily searchable by topic!- http://www.youtube.com/user/hughesDV?feature=watch

Why, I think these resources are fantastic! Especially the HipHughes site, of course being him, I am preferential to myself. Be sure to check out the description in my newer vids for links to tons of other edu peeps on YouTube. The best thing about YT is there a teacher for ecery type of learner in every type of class.

Thanks for visiting Keith! I will have to spend some time going through those links and checking out some of the other awesome people out there in your network :)Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

They're real History Teachers. Their music/videos are very good. Grade School, High School, College, & University students use the videos. Fellow teachers & professors have praised them. Adults, long done with their educations have enjoyed & learned from them! Their Youtube site has 24,500 subscribers. Their videos are listened to in Russia, have been translated into many languages, and crossed the Chinese Internet Firewall, into China.
